Triggered this with an apt upgrade dist-upgrade


APT::Default-Release "buster";

grub-pc   2.02+dfsg1-20+deb10u2

,.,.
This system had mirrored drives -

Had to boot off a thumbdrive - enter rescue -  when it asked for the boot drive - had to tell it to 
build raid - then select the raid ( /dev/md0) as the boot drive.

There then was a menu item to fix grub - wondered if it worked - so I entered a shell and did an 
update-grub2

After reboot all was well.

I don't know if this will repeat or not?



Be kind to the developers - it has been over a decade for a nasty like this to sneak by - which is 
amazing.
